Switching on the appliance

Starting the appliance

The appliance is fitted with internal controls.

Plug in the appliance.

When the appliance is connected to the mains, the

inside light switches on each time the door is

opened. The thermostat, located inside the

refrigerator compartment, is used to adjust the

temperature of both the refrigerator compartment

and the low temperature compartment.

Adjusting the appliance temperature

Setting the temperatures:

The thermostat is used to automatically adjust the

internal temperature of the refrigerator

compartment and the compartment.

The thermostat knob can be turned from positions

1 to 7 (coldest setting) to make the internal

temperature colder.

When set to O the appliance is switched off.

To store food for a short period of time, set the

thermostat between 1 (Min.) and 3 (Med).

To store food in the di conservazione dei cibi nello

scomparto compartment for long periods

of time, set the thermostat to 3 or 4.

The fan, enabled/disabled manually, permits

uniform distribution of the temperature inside the

refrigerator compartment, which results in better

conservation of the food and reduction of excess

moisture. Do not obstruct the fan area.

Note:

The ambient air temperature, frequency of door

opening and the position of the appliance can affect

internal temperatures. These factors must be

taken into account when setting the thermostat.

How to use the refrigerator compartment:

Position the food as illustrated in the figure.

A. Cooked food

B. Fruit and vegetables

C. Fish, meat

D. Bottles

E. Cheese

Notes:

• The space between the shelves and the rear

wall of the refrigerator compartment must be

unobstructed to allow circulation of air.

• Do not place food in direct contact with the

rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.

• Do not place hot food in the refrigerator.

• Store liquids in closed containers.

Important

Storing vegetables with a high water content

can cause condensation to form on the glass

shelf of the crisper drawer: this will not affect

appliance operation.

HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR

COMPARTMENT

18

The freezer compartment can be used

to freeze fresh food.

The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen

in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.

Note

In the event of a power cut, the low temperature

compartment will maintain a sufficiently low

temperature for food storage. However, it is

advisable to avoid opening the compartment door

during such periods.

Freezing fresh food

Warning

Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:

• Aluminium foil, cling film, airtight plastic bags,

polythene containers with lids or freezer

containers suitable for freezing fresh food.

• Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment,

leaving sufficient space around each pack for the

air to circulate.

• For optimum freezing, turn the thermostat down

by half a point when placing fresh foods in the

freezer compartment.

• The food will be completely frozen after 24

hours.

The adjacent table shows the recommended

maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods.

When purchasing frozen food products:

• That the packaging is intact, since the food may

have deteriorated. If the package is swollen or

has damp patches, the product may not have

been stored under optimal conditions and

defrosting may have already begun.

• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until

last and transport the products in a thermally

insulated cool bag.

• Place the items in the freezer compartment as

soon as you get home.

• If the food has defrosted even partially, do not re-

freeze it. Consume within 24 hours

• Avoid or minimise temperature variations.

Observe the expiry date on the packaging.

• Always observe the storage information on the

package.

Making ice cubes

• Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the

low temperature compartment.

• Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to

detach the tray if it becomes stuck to the bottom

of the compartment.

• Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.

Do not use abrasive products, scourers, stain-

removers (e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) or

vinegar.

Replacing the LED light

This procedure must be carried out by the After-

Sales Service. LEDs last longer than traditional light

bulbs, improve internal visibility and respect the

environment

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment indicate that the periodic automatic

defrost cycle is in progress.

The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates.

Defrosting of the freezer compartment is completely automatic.

- 30 cm from coal or oil-fired cookers;

- 3 cm from electric and/or gas cookers.

• Fit the spacers (if supplied) on the rear of the condenser positioned at the back of the appliance (see

figure).

• To optimise appliance efficiency, leave a 5 cm gap above the appliance and make sure that adjacent kitchen

units are sufficiently distanced to allow air circulation.

• Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place, and ensure it is level, using the front adjustment feet if

necessary.

• Clean the interior.

• Fit the accessories.

Electrical disconnection

• Electrical disconnection must be possible either by unplugging the appliance or using a double-pole switch

located upline from the socket.
